Broadjam Artist: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Song: Thirty Year Kiss

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: A lifelong dream elegantly performed effortlessly by this Basia-like female vocalist. She carries this song…real emotion…feels like one take…Nice arrangement…simple but true.

Constructive Comments: Lyrics confused me…thought it was about a love just out of reach, but then…”I can’t believe you’re mine”..” here together in this moment”….most of the lyrics suggest a dream…but those lines threw me off….

Broadjam Artist: Ronald Arduini
Song: I DON’T LOVE YOU

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: An anti-romance rambling narrative from a jaded lover.

Constructive Comments: Sounds like you’re making up words on the fly…if so…you did well…but the lyrics are really important here as there isn’t much else.

Broadjam Artist: Bellavida
Song: 42

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Full explosive production led by a rhythm section teeming with energy and dynamics. Nicely arranged around two vocalists, this piece never lets up.

Constructive Comments: Couldn’t really get the gist of what it was all about…something about dining…but that was all I could pick up…male vocal not very clear.

Broadjam Artist: Keith Taylor
Song: Anne

Reviewer: Bobby Caputo

Positive Comments: Old school Pop song made for someone like Christopher Cross…Music is darn lovely, especially the drums. The writer is daring for using such a bland name like Anne as the focal point…but the listener adjusts and by the end…it’s why not Anne.

Constructive Comments: Lyrics are desperately repetitive and vague…Don’t have the foggiest idea why this guy is so fascinated with Anne…If you can’t describe her assets then I don’t think you have much of a “chance” with Anne.

Broadjam Artist: Paul Messina
Song: Going Back to Where I’ve Never Been

Reviewer: HarryBudini

Positive Comments: Highly professiona under evey aspect and quite pleasant to listen to. Great playing throughout. Original brass arrangements. Jazz instrumental easy to listen to. Ready to be inserted in a movie or discographic project. The violins toward the end are a nice touch.

Constructive Comments: Nothing to say. High professionalism throughout.

Broadjam Artist: Earl.C.Webb
Song: FOLLOW THE CROWD

Reviewer: CAEDMON’S DREAM

Positive Comments: * lyrics are really interesting – and meaningful* lead vocal is strong and has soulful character* excellent arrangement and natural sounding production* an “original” tune a.k.a. New Age Beatles, Queen, etc.

Constructive Comments: + love the modal chord tones and harmonies + I would through in at least a 2-4 bar intro to establish feel before vocals begin+ I bet this sounds way better on a WAV or other non-compressed format+ Keep on it man this has a cool tasteful sound!

Broadjam Artist: David J. Hentosh
Song: 3 Street

Reviewer: Gary Mazzola

Constructive Comments: Having trouble understanding some of the lyrics. had to really listen. i think it was either Greed street or Free street

Broadjam Artist: Dave Mason
Song: The Phantom Cuckoo

Reviewer: Zeiko

Positive Comments: Very well composed, it would definatelly fit good in a movie.

Constructive Comments: I think you should change the samples, and work with the mix.The instruments sounds a bit stiff and ditital. The song have big potential, but you would need to use better samples/instruments and some other mixing. Keep up the good work!
